• ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES FOR SEPTEMBER 15,1997 ( #3 - #2294 LGA Investment Group - Continued) Smith and Lindquist agreed there is concern with the runoff problem. Lindquist suggested the applicant work with the City Engineer. While noting the developer is not responsible for the current problems, they do, however, need to be corrected. Lindquist moved, Schroeder seconded, to table Application #2294. Vote: Ayes 7, Nays 0. (The meeting was recessed for 7 minutes.) ( #4) #2298 CONLEY BROOKS, JR. AND JOHN BROOKS, 905/980 FERNDALE ROAD WEST - SUBDIVISION OF A LOT LINE REARRANGEMENT - PUBLIC HEARING 9:39- 10:21 P.M. The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were noted. The Applicant was present. • Gaffron reported that the application is a request to detach Lot 13, North Shore Cottage Acres from 905 West Ferndale, and legally combine it with the Conley Brooks properties located across the lagoon, Parcels A, E, H, and F. This is designated as a Class I subdivision as no plat is required as it was previously platted. Gaffron indicated that the reattachment of the property to property across the lagoon from it would be necessary. • It is the desire of the applicant to preserve his views across the lagoon. There is no structure located in the 0 -75' setback. Some smaller trees on the peninsula may impact the views in the future. Gaffron said Hennepin County would most likely not allow the legal combination with property across the lagoon. This would then be subject to a special lot combination resolution to be filed on the chain of title stipulating Lot 13 cannot be separated from the homestead parcel in the future without City approval. This would eliminate the possibility of creating an unbuildable lot that could be sold off. Gaffron reviewed the three issues for consideration included in the packet on page 2 of the memo. Smith was informed that the Shoreland District regulations control what occurs in the 0 -75' setback. 18
